Reforms can help Nevada get the most out of its higher ed system

The 2018 midterm elections brought about considerable political change in our state. We discuss these changes with an expert panel of election analysts – the reasons for our state’s shift to blue in our key state and federal seats, shifting voting patterns, the ushering in a new era of women leadership, and what or how may prompt a shifting tide again in the coming 2020 election.

As described by 51ԹϺ political science professor David Damore during a panel discussion last Wednesday, the approach they came up with relied heavily on reaching out to black and Latino voters and inviting them into their party.

Brookings Mountain West launches “Las Vegas and the Middle Class” project

There’s one thing that rich and poor have in common in the U.S. — they both tend to describe themselves as “middle class.”

That might reflect the nation’s historical egalitarian ethos – “all men are created equal,” the 19th century rise of democracy, the faith, however misplaced and vexed, that in the U.S., while everyone is not born filthy rich, everyone has the opportunity to become so.

Energized Latino, young voters bode well for Democrats long-term

Marlina Delgado had never voted in a midterm election until Tuesday, nor had she been a party-line voter in presidential elections. In 2016, for instance, she was leaning toward Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio until Donald Trump won the nomination. But this year was different.

Lincoln Memorial reminds us who we are and can still be

A country’s leader must provide security by economic and representational means to all its people, so that the insecurities of a faction do not manifest into acts of hate, violence and oppression against others.

Four policies to help the middle class, and how to pay for them

Behind the daily headlines of our turbulent political climate is a stark, hard fact: the American middle class is hurting. Household incomes for the middle 60 percent of the distribution are rising, but painfully slowly, and primarily due to more work (including longer hours) rather than better wages.

Nevada distinctly vulnerable to census citizenship question

A 2020 U.S. Census undercount could have potentially large ripple effects for everything the census determines — from how congressional seats are distributed around the country to where hundreds of billions of federal dollars are spent.

Comparison of teachers with other jobs makes unrealistic conclusion

Opponents of public schools like to dissect teacher salaries in all sorts of ways to suggest that K-12 educators are not underpaid and in fact are lavishly rewarded for their work. But don’t let those numbers fool you.
